Description

本発明は、疲労強度評価方法に関し、特に複合材料の疲労強度評価方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a fatigue strength evaluation method, and more particularly to a fatigue strength evaluation method of a composite material.

近年、炭素繊維と樹脂からなる炭素繊維強化プラスチック(CFRP)や、ガラス繊維と樹脂からなるガラス繊維強化プラスチック(GFRP)といった軽量で強度の高い繊維強化複合材料が幅広く用いられており、特に航空宇宙分野のような、高い信頼性が求められる分野において多用されている。 In recent years, lightweight and high-strength fiber-reinforced composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) made of carbon fiber and resin and glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) made of glass fiber and resin have been widely used, especially in aerospace. It is often used in fields that require high reliability, such as fields.

上述のような、高い信頼性を求められる分野においては、CFRPのような繊維強化複合材料の疲労強度や損傷を高精度、かつ、迅速に評価できる手法が求められる。従来、その手法の一つとして、熱弾性解析という手法が知られている。熱弾性解析とは、対象とする材料に外的負荷を加え、試料が弾性的に変形することで生じる微小な温度変動を測定し、材料の疲労強度の評価や損傷状況を解析するものである。 In the fields where high reliability is required as described above, a method capable of quickly and accurately evaluating the fatigue strength and damage of a fiber-reinforced composite material such as CFRP is required. Conventionally, a method called thermoelastic analysis is known as one of the methods. Thermoelastic analysis is to evaluate the fatigue strength of a material and analyze the damage status by measuring minute temperature fluctuations caused by elastic deformation of the sample by applying an external load to the target material. ..

熱弾性解析の多くは、赤外線サーモグラフィ装置を用いて行われている。赤外線サーモグラフィ装置を用いた熱弾性解析は、対象物を非破壊かつ非接触で評価することができ、さらに、対象物を2次元的に解析することができるため、短時間に広範囲にわたって評価可能であり、対象物内に生じている欠陥の位置や形状を温度分布から視覚的に確認することができるという特徴がある。 Most of the thermoelastic analysis is performed using an infrared thermography apparatus. Thermoelastic analysis using an infrared thermography device can evaluate an object in a non-destructive and non-contact manner, and since the object can be analyzed two-dimensionally, it can be evaluated over a wide range in a short time. There is a feature that the position and shape of defects occurring in the object can be visually confirmed from the temperature distribution.

例えば、下記特許文献1では、評価対象である材料に反復負荷を印加した時の温度振幅を測定し、予め把握しておいた評価対象の材料の疲労強度と、反復負荷を印加した時の温度振幅の関係から、疲労強度を評価する方法が記載されている。 For example, in Patent Document 1 below, the temperature amplitude when a repetitive load is applied to a material to be evaluated is measured, and the fatigue strength of the material to be evaluated and the temperature when the repetitive load is applied are grasped in advance. A method for evaluating fatigue strength from the relationship of amplitude is described.

ところが、評価対象の材料が複合材料である場合、複合材料を構成する各素材の間に界面が存在するため、界面の剥離等の損傷が発生しやすく、発生した損傷から界面に沿って損傷が進展していくといった、特有の欠陥が生じやすい。さらに、複合材料は、界面が存在することによって、評価対象の材料から評価用の試料を切り出す際に、亀裂や剥離といった初期欠陥も生じやすい。 However, when the material to be evaluated is a composite material, since an interface exists between each material constituting the composite material, damage such as peeling of the interface is likely to occur, and damage is caused along the interface from the generated damage. Unique defects such as progress are likely to occur. Further, the presence of the interface in the composite material tends to cause initial defects such as cracks and peeling when the sample for evaluation is cut out from the material to be evaluated.

上記特許文献1に記載されている方法は、外的負荷を加えたことで発生した欠陥を確認することはできるが、初期欠陥の確認や、初期欠陥からの損傷の進展状況を確認することはできない。従って、初期欠陥の発生に応じた評価や損傷の進展状況が確認できないため、疲労強度の評価結果にバラつきが生じやすく、かつ、その原因の特定が困難であるため、高い精度で疲労強度評価ができないという課題があった。 The method described in Patent Document 1 can confirm the defect generated by applying an external load, but it cannot confirm the initial defect or the progress of damage from the initial defect. Can not. Therefore, since it is not possible to confirm the evaluation according to the occurrence of the initial defect and the progress of damage, the fatigue strength evaluation result tends to vary and it is difficult to identify the cause. Therefore, the fatigue strength evaluation can be performed with high accuracy. There was a problem that it could not be done.

本発明は、上記課題に鑑み、複合材料の疲労強度を高精度に評価できる方法を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of evaluating the fatigue strength of a composite material with high accuracy.

本発明は、複合材料からなる試料に、外的負荷を反復して加えながら行う疲労強度評価方法であって、
前記外的負荷を加えることで前記試料に発生する温度振幅を、赤外線サーモグラフィ装置によって測定し、第一温度振幅分布を作成する工程(a)と、
前記工程(a)の後、前記外的負荷を加えることで前記試料に発生する温度振幅を、前記赤外線サーモグラフィ装置によって測定し、第二温度振幅分布を作成する工程(b)と、
前記第一温度振幅分布と前記第二温度振幅分布との差をとり、温度振幅変動分布を作成する工程(c)と、
前記温度振幅変動分布から、損傷を判定するための損傷パラメータを算出して、前記試料の疲労強度を評価する工程(d)とを含むことを特徴とする。
The present invention is a fatigue strength evaluation method performed while repeatedly applying an external load to a sample made of a composite material.
The step (a) of measuring the temperature amplitude generated in the sample by applying the external load with an infrared thermography apparatus and creating a first temperature amplitude distribution.
After the step (a), the temperature amplitude generated in the sample by applying the external load is measured by the infrared thermography apparatus, and the step (b) of creating the second temperature amplitude distribution.
The step (c) of creating a temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution by taking the difference between the first temperature amplitude distribution and the second temperature amplitude distribution, and
It is characterized by including a step (d) of calculating a damage parameter for determining damage from the temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution and evaluating the fatigue strength of the sample.

工程(a)は、外的負荷によって、試料が弾性的に変形することで、試料に発生する微小な温度変動を赤外線サーモグラフィ装置によって測定し、第一温度振幅分布を作成する工程である。試料とは、評価に用いるために適切な形状に加工された複合材料である。なお、工程(a)は、試料に外的負荷があまり加えられていない状態で行われることが好ましく、試料に加えられた外的負荷の反復回数が1,000回以下の状態で行われることが好ましい。 The step (a) is a step of creating a first temperature amplitude distribution by measuring minute temperature fluctuations generated in the sample by an infrared thermography apparatus due to elastic deformation of the sample by an external load. A sample is a composite material that has been processed into a suitable shape for use in evaluation. The step (a) is preferably performed in a state where an external load is not applied to the sample so much, and is performed in a state where the number of repetitions of the external load applied to the sample is 1,000 times or less. Is preferable.

外的負荷は、例えば、引張負荷、圧縮負荷、剪断負荷、曲げ負荷等が用いられる。これらは、評価対象の複合材料の種類、評価基準、試料の形状といった評価条件に応じて適宜選択される。 As the external load, for example, a tensile load, a compression load, a shear load, a bending load and the like are used. These are appropriately selected according to the evaluation conditions such as the type of the composite material to be evaluated, the evaluation criteria, and the shape of the sample.

赤外線サーモグラフィ装置は、試料の温度変動を2次元的に計測し、撮影した試料の温度分布を画像として可視化するため、損傷個所や損傷の大きさ、さらには損傷の進展状況を可視化することができる。損傷個所や損傷の進展状況等が可視化されることで、例えば、疲労強度評価結果に大きなバラつきが生じた場合に、初期欠陥や局所的な構造の欠陥等によって、損傷が発生や損傷の拡大していく状態を目視で確認をすることができ、評価結果にバラつきが生じた際に、バラつきの原因を特定しやすくなる。 Since the infrared thermography device measures the temperature fluctuation of the sample two-dimensionally and visualizes the temperature distribution of the photographed sample as an image, it is possible to visualize the damaged part, the size of the damage, and the progress of the damage. .. By visualizing the damaged part and the progress of the damage, for example, when the fatigue strength evaluation result has a large variation, the damage occurs or the damage expands due to the initial defect or the local structural defect. It is possible to visually confirm the state of fatigue, and when the evaluation results vary, it becomes easier to identify the cause of the variation.

工程(b)は、工程(a)の後、再び工程(a)と同じ方法で試料の微小な温度変動を赤外線サーモグラフィ装置によって測定し、第二温度振幅分布を作成する工程である。工程(a)と工程(b)との間に、試料に加える外的負荷の反復回数は、評価する複合材料や評価基準に従って任意に設定されてもよく、好ましくは1,000回以上10,000回以下であり、さらに好ましくは1,000回以上2,000回以下である。 The step (b) is a step of creating a second temperature amplitude distribution by measuring minute temperature fluctuations of the sample again with an infrared thermography apparatus by the same method as in the step (a) after the step (a). The number of repetitions of the external load applied to the sample between the step (a) and the step (b) may be arbitrarily set according to the composite material to be evaluated and the evaluation criteria, and is preferably 1,000 times or more 10. It is 000 times or less, more preferably 1,000 times or more and 2,000 times or less.

工程(a)と工程(b)との間において、温度振幅分布を測定し、第三温度振幅分布を取得するものであっても構わない。さらには、第四温度振幅分布、第五温度振幅分布と、外的負荷を加えている最中に、複数回の温度振幅分布を取得するものであっても構わない。外的負荷を加えている間の温度振幅変動を観測することで、外的負荷を加えている最中に、温度振幅分布の時間経過での変化を確認することができるため、損傷が試料のどこで発生し、どのように進展しているのかを確認することができる。 The temperature amplitude distribution may be measured between the step (a) and the step (b) to obtain the third temperature amplitude distribution. Further, the fourth temperature amplitude distribution, the fifth temperature amplitude distribution, and the temperature amplitude distribution may be acquired a plurality of times while an external load is being applied. By observing the temperature amplitude fluctuation while applying an external load, it is possible to confirm the change in the temperature amplitude distribution over time while applying an external load, so that the damage is caused to the sample. You can see where it occurs and how it is progressing.

工程(c)は、第一温度振幅分布と第二温度振幅分布との差をとり、温度振幅変動分布を作成する工程である。本明細書において、第一温度変動分布と第二温度変動分布の差を取るとは、第一温度変動分布におけるそれぞれの位置又は座標の温度変動値と、第二温度変動分布のそれぞれ対応する位置又は座標の温度変動値との差を取ることである。 Step (c) is a step of creating a temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution by taking the difference between the first temperature amplitude distribution and the second temperature amplitude distribution. In the present specification, taking the difference between the first temperature fluctuation distribution and the second temperature fluctuation distribution means that the temperature fluctuation value of each position or coordinate in the first temperature fluctuation distribution and the corresponding position of the second temperature fluctuation distribution are taken. Or, take the difference from the temperature fluctuation value of the coordinates.

工程(d)は、損傷パラメータを算出し、算出された損傷パラメータに基づいて、試料の疲労強度を評価する工程である。損傷パラメータには、例えば、温度振幅変動分布全体における温度振幅変動量の平均値や最大値とすることができ、これらに基づいて試料の疲労強度が評価される。試料の疲労強度の判定方法の一例としては、取得された試料の損傷パラメータがある負荷繰返し数までに所定の閾値に達したら疲労強度が弱く、損傷パラメータが所定の閾値に満たない場合は疲労強度が強いと判定する。 Step (d) is a step of calculating the damage parameter and evaluating the fatigue strength of the sample based on the calculated damage parameter. The damage parameter can be, for example, the average value or the maximum value of the amount of temperature amplitude fluctuation in the entire temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution, and the fatigue intensity of the sample is evaluated based on these. As an example of the method for determining the fatigue strength of a sample, the fatigue strength is weak when the damage parameter of the acquired sample reaches a predetermined threshold by a certain number of load repetitions, and the fatigue strength when the damage parameter does not reach the predetermined threshold. Is judged to be strong.

上記の工程による評価方法によれば、試料に外的負荷が加えられる前後での温度振幅の変動量に基づいて疲労強度が評価される。従って、第一温度分布の取得と第二温度分布の取得との間で、試料に加えられた外的負荷によって生じた変化のみが損傷として検出されるため初期欠陥による疲労強度の評価への影響が少ない。 According to the evaluation method by the above step, the fatigue strength is evaluated based on the amount of fluctuation of the temperature amplitude before and after the external load is applied to the sample. Therefore, between the acquisition of the first temperature distribution and the acquisition of the second temperature distribution, only the change caused by the external load applied to the sample is detected as damage, which affects the evaluation of fatigue strength due to the initial defect. Less is.

また、上記の工程による評価方法によれば、第一温度振幅分布及び第二温度振幅分布が作成されているため、それぞれの分布によって、初期欠陥が発生していたかどうかや、亀裂や剥離の発生箇所と、そこから損傷がどのように進展しているかを確認することができる。 Further, according to the evaluation method by the above step, since the first temperature amplitude distribution and the second temperature amplitude distribution are created, whether or not initial defects have occurred and the occurrence of cracks and peeling have occurred depending on the respective distributions. You can see where and how the damage has progressed from there.

上記の工程による疲労強度評価方法によれば、初期欠陥に起因した評価結果のバラつきが抑制され、複合材料の疲労強度評価の精度を向上される。さらに、初期欠陥の有無を確認することができ、評価対象の試料として適切であるか否かの判別も行うことができる。 According to the fatigue strength evaluation method by the above step, the variation in the evaluation result due to the initial defect is suppressed, and the accuracy of the fatigue strength evaluation of the composite material is improved. Furthermore, the presence or absence of initial defects can be confirmed, and it is also possible to determine whether or not the sample is suitable as an evaluation target sample.

上記複合材料の疲労強度方法において、
前記損傷パラメータは、温度振幅変動分布全体の面積に対する、損傷と判別されている領域の面積の割合を示す損傷面積率とすることができる。
In the fatigue strength method of the above composite material,
The damage parameter can be a damaged area ratio indicating the ratio of the area of the region determined to be damaged to the total area of the temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution.

損傷面積率は、温度振幅変動分布を図示した場合の全体の面積に対して、温度振幅変動量が、損傷発生したと判定するための閾値を超えている領域の面積の割合である。損傷パラメータを損傷面積率とすることで、試料が外的負荷を加えることによって、どの程度損傷が進展したのかを確認することができる。 The damaged area ratio is the ratio of the area of the region where the amount of temperature amplitude fluctuation exceeds the threshold value for determining that damage has occurred with respect to the total area when the temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution is illustrated. By using the damage parameter as the damage area ratio, it is possible to confirm how much damage has progressed by applying an external load to the sample.

上記複合材料の疲労強度評価方法において、
工程(d)は、ワイブル分布を用いて前記試料の疲労強度を判定することができる。
In the fatigue strength evaluation method of the above composite material,
In step (d), the fatigue intensity of the sample can be determined using the Weibull distribution.

ワイブル分布によって、引張負荷を加える回数に応じた累積の損傷確率を記述する関数F(N)は、下記の数式1のような式で記述される。 The function F (N) that describes the cumulative damage probability according to the number of times a tensile load is applied according to the Weibull distribution is described by an equation such as Equation 1 below.

Figure 2021131357
Figure 2021131357

数式1に現れる各パラメータは、mが形状パラメータ(ワイブル係数)、ηが尺度パラメータと称され、評価対象の複合材料ごとに固有の適切な数値が設定される。また、Nは整数であり、試料に外的負荷を加えた回数である。 For each parameter appearing in Equation 1, m is called a shape parameter (Weibull coefficient) and η is called a scale parameter, and an appropriate numerical value peculiar to each composite material to be evaluated is set. N is an integer, which is the number of times an external load is applied to the sample.

ワイブル分布は、物体の疲労強度等を統計的に解析する場合に用いられる確率分布である。ワイブル分布は、評価対象とする試料(複合材料)によって定められる、形状パラメータと尺度パラメータという値を設定することで、時間変化や負荷を加える反復回数と累積破断確率との関係を記述することができる。 The Weibull distribution is a probability distribution used when statistically analyzing the fatigue intensity of an object. The Weibull distribution can describe the relationship between the number of iterations in which a time change or load is applied and the cumulative fracture probability by setting the values of shape parameter and scale parameter, which are determined by the sample (composite material) to be evaluated. can.

ワイブル分布を用いることで、所定の反復回数だけ外的負荷が加えられた時の損傷率に基づいて、当該試料が、外的負荷を何回加えられると破壊してしまうかを確率統計的に予測することができる。つまり、試料が破断するまで外的負荷を加え続けなくとも、複合材料の疲労強度を評価することができるため、疲労強度評価時間が大幅に短縮される。 By using the Weibull distribution, it is probabilistically statistically determined how many times the sample is subjected to the external load to be destroyed based on the damage rate when the external load is applied a predetermined number of times. Can be predicted. That is, since the fatigue strength of the composite material can be evaluated without continuously applying an external load until the sample breaks, the fatigue strength evaluation time is significantly shortened.

また、初期欠陥や剥離の発生位置、剥離の合体等の試料が破断するまでに必要な外的負荷を加える反復回数のバラつきをも含めて、強度比較をすることができる。従って、初期欠陥に起因した評価結果のバラつきが抑制され、複合材料の疲労強度評価の精度をさらに向上させることができる。 In addition, it is possible to compare the strength including the variation in the number of repetitions of applying the external load required for the sample to break, such as the initial defect, the position where the peeling occurs, and the coalescence of the peeling. Therefore, the variation in the evaluation result due to the initial defect is suppressed, and the accuracy of the fatigue strength evaluation of the composite material can be further improved.

本発明によれば、複合材料の疲労強度を高精度に評価できる方法を提供することできる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a method capable of evaluating the fatigue strength of a composite material with high accuracy.

以下、本発明の複合材料の疲労強度評価方法について、図面を参照して説明する。 Hereinafter, the method for evaluating the fatigue strength of the composite material of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[評価方法]
本実施形態では、負荷装置、赤外線サーモグラフィ装置、演算処理装置によって試料の疲労強度を評価するものについて説明する。図1は、本発明の複合材料の疲労強度評価方法の一実施形態のフローチャートを示す図面である。評価を行う試料1には、負荷装置によって負荷を加えるために適当な形状に、複合材料が加工されたものである。なお、本実施形態において試料1に加えられる外的負荷は、引張応力である。
[Evaluation method]
In this embodiment, a load device, an infrared thermography device, and an arithmetic processing device for evaluating the fatigue intensity of a sample will be described. FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a flowchart of an embodiment of the fatigue strength evaluation method for a composite material of the present invention. The sample 1 to be evaluated is a composite material processed into a shape suitable for applying a load by a loading device. The external load applied to the sample 1 in the present embodiment is tensile stress.

図2は、本発明の複合材料の疲労強度評価方法で評価対象となる試料1の正面視の形状を示す模式的な図面である。図2に示すように、試料1は長方形状であって、両短辺の把持部(2a,2b)が負荷装置によって把持されて、引張方向3に反復して引張負荷が加えられる。 FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing showing the front view shape of the sample 1 to be evaluated by the fatigue strength evaluation method of the composite material of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the sample 1 has a rectangular shape, and the grip portions (2a, 2b) on both short sides are gripped by the loading device, and a tensile load is repeatedly applied in the tensile direction 3.

図1に示すように、まず、負荷装置が試料1に引張負荷が加え始め(S1)、その後、赤外線サーモグラフィ装置が基準となる試料1の温度を2次元的に測定し、画素ごとの第一温度振幅分布が作成される(S2)。 As shown in FIG. 1, first, the loading device starts to apply a tensile load to the sample 1 (S1), and then the infrared thermography device measures the temperature of the reference sample 1 two-dimensionally, and the first for each pixel. A temperature amplitude distribution is created (S2).

第一温度振幅分布が作成された後、負荷装置が反復して数万回の引張負荷を試料1に加えられるのを待つ(S3)。その後、赤外線サーモグラフィ装置が、再び試料1の温度を2次元的に測定し、画素ごとの第二温度振幅分布を作成する(S4)。 After the first temperature amplitude distribution is created, the loading device repeatedly waits for tens of thousands of tensile loads to be applied to the sample 1 (S3). After that, the infrared thermography apparatus measures the temperature of the sample 1 two-dimensionally again and creates a second temperature amplitude distribution for each pixel (S4).

第一温度振幅分布と第二温度振幅分布が作成されると、演算処理装置が、第一温度振幅分布におけるそれぞれの画素の温度変動値と、第二温度振幅分布のそれぞれ対応する画素の温度振幅値との差を取って温度振幅変動分布を作成する(S5)。 When the first temperature amplitude distribution and the second temperature amplitude distribution are created, the arithmetic processing device causes the temperature fluctuation value of each pixel in the first temperature amplitude distribution and the temperature amplitude of each corresponding pixel in the second temperature amplitude distribution. The temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution is created by taking the difference from the value (S5).

作成された温度振幅変動分布から、演算処理装置が損傷パラメータとして損傷面積率を算出する(S6)。損傷面積率は、上述の通り、試料1の温度振幅変動分布全体の面積に対する、温度振幅変動量が、損傷発生したと判定するための閾値を超えている領域の面積の割合として算出される。本実施形態では、赤外線サーモグラフィ装置によって2次元的に温度測定された領域全体の画素数に対する、温度振幅変動量が、損傷発生したと判定するための閾値を超えている画素数の割合として算出される。 From the created temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution, the arithmetic processing unit calculates the damaged area ratio as a damage parameter (S6). As described above, the damaged area ratio is calculated as the ratio of the area of the region where the amount of temperature amplitude fluctuation exceeds the threshold value for determining that damage has occurred to the entire area of the temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution of sample 1. In the present embodiment, the amount of temperature amplitude fluctuation is calculated as the ratio of the number of pixels exceeding the threshold for determining that damage has occurred to the total number of pixels in the entire region whose temperature is two-dimensionally measured by the infrared thermography apparatus. NS.

演算処理装置は、算出された損傷面積率から、ワイブル分布に基づいて疲労強度を評価する(S7)。ワイブル分布は上述したように、物体の強度を統計的に記述する確率分布であり、疲労強度を評価するためには、評価対象の複合材料に応じたm(形状パラメータ)及びη(尺度パラメータ)を決めておく必要がある。これらは、同じ複合材料からなる複数の試料1を評価することで求められる。 The arithmetic processing unit evaluates the fatigue strength from the calculated damaged area ratio based on the Weibull distribution (S7). As described above, the Weibull distribution is a probability distribution that statistically describes the strength of an object, and in order to evaluate fatigue strength, m (shape parameter) and η (scale parameter) according to the composite material to be evaluated. It is necessary to decide. These are determined by evaluating a plurality of Samples 1 made of the same composite material.

さらに、本実施形態では、損傷面積率が所定の数値に達したときの引張負荷を加えた回数を評価打切り数Nfとする。そして、試料1の評価打切り数Nfについて、ワイブル分布で整理すると、引張負荷の反復回数に対する試料1が所定の損傷面積率に達する累積確率分布が得られる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the number of times the tensile load is applied when the damaged area ratio reaches a predetermined value is defined as the evaluation cutoff number N f . Then, when the evaluation cutoff number N f of the sample 1 is arranged by the Weibull distribution, a cumulative probability distribution in which the sample 1 reaches a predetermined damaged area ratio with respect to the number of repetitions of the tensile load can be obtained.

こうして得られた累積確率分布のうち、特定の確率に達するまでの引張負荷の反復回数を比較することで、相対的に複合罪材料の強度を評価することができる。 Among the cumulative probability distributions obtained in this way, the strength of the composite sin material can be relatively evaluated by comparing the number of repetitions of the tensile load until a specific probability is reached.

本実施形態によれば、上述のように、引張負荷を加える前後での温度振幅変動を測定して解析する手法であることから、初期欠陥による影響を受けにくく、複合材料の疲労強度の評価制度を向上させることができる。また、確率統計分布を用いて、複合材料が持つ特性の傾向に基づいた数値を用いて評価を行うため、バラつきの少ない評価結果が得られやすい。 According to the present embodiment, as described above, since it is a method of measuring and analyzing temperature amplitude fluctuations before and after applying a tensile load, it is not easily affected by initial defects and is an evaluation system for fatigue strength of composite materials. Can be improved. In addition, since the evaluation is performed using the numerical value based on the tendency of the characteristics of the composite material using the probability statistical distribution, it is easy to obtain an evaluation result with little variation.

また、一般的な疲労強度の評価は、複合材料が破断するまで外的負荷を加えて評価される。しかし、本検証からもわかるように、本発明の疲労強度評価方法は、所定回数の外的負荷を加えた時点での損傷率から、当該複合材料に応じたワイブル分布から確率統計的に疲労強度を評価する。従って、一般的な疲労強度の評価方法と比較して、外的負荷を加える回数を100分の1、又は1000分の1程度で評価することができるため、評価時間が短縮される。 In addition, general fatigue strength is evaluated by applying an external load until the composite material breaks. However, as can be seen from this verification, the fatigue strength evaluation method of the present invention probabilistically obtains fatigue strength from the Weibull distribution according to the composite material from the damage rate at the time when an external load is applied a predetermined number of times. To evaluate. Therefore, as compared with a general fatigue strength evaluation method, the number of times an external load is applied can be evaluated at about 1/1100 or 1/1000, so that the evaluation time is shortened.

いくつかの複合材料を用いて本発明の効果の検証を行った。評価対象の複合材料は、ビニルウレタン樹脂の組成の材料とし、それぞれ材料Bと材料Cとして2種類用意し、材料Bを5本、材料Cを6本評価した。
(conditions)
The effect of the present invention was verified using several composite materials. The composite material to be evaluated was a material having a vinyl urethane resin composition, and two types of materials B and C were prepared, respectively, and five materials B and six materials C were evaluated.

試料1の大きさは12.5mm×200mmとした。 The size of sample 1 was 12.5 mm × 200 mm.

負荷装置によって試料1に加えられる引張負荷は、図2に示す引張方向3に対して800N/mm2を最大値とする変動負荷とした。 The tensile load applied to the sample 1 by the loading device was a fluctuating load having a maximum value of 800 N / mm 2 with respect to the tensile direction 3 shown in FIG.

第二温度振幅分布を作成するための赤外線サーモグラフィ装置温度分布による測定は、負荷装置が試料1に引張負荷が加え始めてから反復回数が10,000回、50,000回、及び100,000回となったところで行った。 Infrared thermography device for creating the second temperature amplitude distribution The measurement by the temperature distribution has been repeated 10,000 times, 50,000 times, and 100,000 times since the load device started applying the tensile load to the sample 1. I went there.

損傷と判定する温度振幅変動量の閾値は、±0.05℃とした。 The threshold value of the amount of temperature amplitude fluctuation determined to be damage was ± 0.05 ° C.

(結果)
図3は、検証における複合材料の第一温度振幅分布と第二温度振幅分布である。図4は、検証における複合材料の温度振幅変動分布である。第一温度振幅分布を示す図は、図3の(x)である。第二温度振幅分布を示す図は、図3の(a)〜(c)であり、それぞれ(a)は、反復回数が10,000回、(b)は、反復回数が50,000回、(c)は、反復回数が100,000回での第二温度振幅分布を示している。
(result)
FIG. 3 shows the first temperature amplitude distribution and the second temperature amplitude distribution of the composite material in the verification. FIG. 4 shows the temperature amplitude fluctuation distribution of the composite material in the verification. The figure showing the first temperature amplitude distribution is (x) of FIG. The figures showing the second temperature amplitude distribution are (a) to (c) of FIG. 3, respectively, in which the number of repetitions is 10,000 in (a) and 50,000 in (b). (C) shows the second temperature amplitude distribution when the number of repetitions is 100,000.

図3に示される、第一温度振幅分布(x)と、それぞれの第二温度振幅分布((a),(b),(c))との差を取ると、図4に示される、温度振幅変動分布((A),(B),(C))が得られる。 Taking the difference between the first temperature amplitude distribution (x) shown in FIG. 3 and the respective second temperature amplitude distributions ((a), (b), (c)), the temperature shown in FIG. 4 is taken. Amplitude fluctuation distributions ((A), (B), (C)) are obtained.

反復回数が10,000回では、試料1の把持部2a側の端部に低い温度変動とその内側に高い温度変動が現れており、繰返し数とともに温度変動が低い領域が端部に沿って、高い領域が内側に向かって広がっていることが分かる。これは損傷の発生と進展を示すものであり、損傷の様子を可視化することができる。 When the number of repetitions is 10,000, a low temperature fluctuation and a high temperature fluctuation appear inside the grip portion 2a side of the sample 1, and a region where the temperature fluctuation is low with the number of repetitions appears along the end. It can be seen that the high area extends inward. This shows the occurrence and progress of damage, and the state of damage can be visualized.

図5Aは、各試料の破断繰返し数Nfのワイブル分布のグラフであり、図5B〜図5Eは,各試料の損傷面積率が1%、5%、10%、20%に達するのに要した反復回数Nsaのワイブル分布のグラフである。いずれのワイブル分布においても材料Cの方が、材料Bよりも50%累積確率となる反復回数は大きい。すなわち、損傷の発生や進展が、材料Cでは材料Bよりも遅く、疲労強度が高いことを意味する。 FIG. 5A is a graph of the Weibull distribution of the number of fracture repetitions Nf of each sample, and FIGS. 5B to 5E are required for the damaged area ratio of each sample to reach 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20%. It is a graph of the Weibull distribution of the number of repetitions Nsa. In any Weibull distribution, the material C has a larger number of iterations with a 50% cumulative probability than the material B. That is, it means that the occurrence and progression of damage in the material C is slower than that in the material B, and the fatigue strength is high.

表1は、材料Bと材料Cの累積確率50%(試行回数のうち、半数が破壊する反復回数)に到達するサイクル数をまとめた表である。

Figure 2021131357
Table 1 is a table summarizing the number of cycles to reach the cumulative probability of 50% of the cumulative probability of the material B and the material C (the number of repetitions in which half of the trials are destroyed).
Figure 2021131357

表2及び表3は、各試料の従来の疲労強度試験による結果を示す表である。6本での材料Bの破断繰返し数の平均値は4.04×105回(標準偏差2.48×105回)であり、6本での材料Cの破断繰返し数の平均値は1.02×106回(標準偏差1.08×106回)である。従来の疲労強度試験は、材料Cは材料Bよりも破断繰返し数が大きいため、ワイブル分布による評価と同じように疲労強度が高いことはわかるが、破断繰返し数のバラつきが大きい。 Tables 2 and 3 are tables showing the results of conventional fatigue strength tests of each sample. The average number of fracture repetitions of material B with 6 pieces is 4.04 × 10 5 times (standard deviation 2.48 × 10 5 times), and the average value of the number of breakage repetitions of material C with 6 pieces is 1. .02 x 10 6 times (standard deviation 1.08 x 10 6 times). In the conventional fatigue strength test, since the material C has a larger number of fracture repetitions than the material B, it can be seen that the fatigue strength is high as in the evaluation by the Weibull distribution, but the number of fracture repetitions varies widely.

以上より、本発明の疲労強度の評価方法は、破壊に要した繰返し数と損傷面積率とのワイブル分布での整理が同じ傾向を示していることからも損傷面積率を用いた評価で、疲労強度を評価できることがわかる。さらに、本発明の疲労強度の評価方法は、同一の複合材料から製作された各試料の結果に大きなバラつきは生じておらず、複合材料であっても、試料ごとに大きなバラつきが発生することなく、通常の疲労強度試験よりも精度良く評価できていることがわかる。 From the above, the fatigue strength evaluation method of the present invention is based on the evaluation using the damaged area ratio because the arrangement of the number of repetitions required for fracture and the damaged area ratio in the Weibull distribution shows the same tendency. It can be seen that the strength can be evaluated. Further, in the method for evaluating fatigue strength of the present invention, there is no large variation in the results of each sample produced from the same composite material, and even if the composite material is used, there is no large variation for each sample. , It can be seen that the evaluation can be performed more accurately than the normal fatigue strength test.
